Soothing Syrup for Cowboys.

The Northern Pacific train from the west came into this town a few days since with twenty five or thirty cowboys, bound for Fort Worth. The festive COW punch CTS had taken possession of the emisraut sleeper. Every one Of them had huge revolver slung tO his belt, all of them were full of bug juice, each man sporting a bottle of forty pod whisky. -M.ssn the Dakota diylsisSn conductor came into the car t.T-,heir tickets they refused to pro 'fLce the pasteboarls, drawing instead their bottles of chain lightning, and in sisted on the ticket puncher drinking with them. A quiet old German passenger who had been much annoyed by the hilari- ousness of the wild riders of the western plains took the conductor tO one side and said.
 If I were conductor of this train I would expend half dollar at some con venient drug store for opium and slip it into their bottles.
 On reaching Bismarck the conductor acted on this happy suggestion, and sent his brakeman to a drug store for fifty cents worth of the quieting drug. The brakeman went into the car and accepted their generous offer to imbibe, and. while pretending tO drink, quietly slipped Q small quantity of the soothing drug m each bottle Quiet soon reiEucd where before all had been pandemuuium- These deuizens of the wild. rowdy west were soon sleeping sounder than the Cardiff giant The exultant conductor rolled them over like lors. went through their pockets punched their tickets and rolled them back in their berths \ more pegcgfu. f..r .f raSSpurer~ never travelled over tL.

Aside from those ordinary implements of our profession, the cards, find that cabalistic signs impress most of my ch- epts with the truth of my knowledge and readings. Co to fortune teller of the better class who has some education, and if by the power he or she has of judging human nature in a general way, it is seen that ignorant jargon will not catch you, you will be reached through signs.

IL was very cold night, or rather morning. and, having seen their rounds they thought the way clear for a htile res. So they hied to livery stable on one man post and adjacent to that of the other, and were soon asleep in its warm office All bor,r or so later their slumbers were rudely broken by a ruundsmnn's rap, sounding clear and loud from the next corner. W hhl to do was the question. One thing Was certain-thev must remain under cover while the rOundsman was in sight. Alter minutes which seemed hours their supe- perior disappeared down the beat.

In the pursuit they found the two sets of harness, which presumably had been stolen.

New York's Japanese Club.

The quaintest club in New York is the Japanese club. It was established sev- eraI years back by the leading Japanese merchants and attaches of legation set tied in this city and now numbers some twenty-five members. They are all men of means and influence and entertain any of their cOuntrymen who may pass through the city in the most hOspitable way. IL has imported a native cook and has commenced to give dinners prepared and served in the Japanese style. at one of which recently the first Caucasian guests the club has dined were enter tained.

There lay, as snug as you please, taking a great deal Of amusement out of the enthusiasm of the audience.

Arizona Vs. Montana.

The weather IS moderating in North ern Montana and the outlook is more favorable for cattle. Tbe losses of cat tie for the season have been fully 90 per cent. It's believed that this will have the tendency of breaking mp the immense herds of corporations and that cattle in- terests will become segregated and owned ID smaller herds by lesser capital ists similar to Arizona who have better facilities for vithstsnding severe ses- sons. The people of Arizona talk about the poor facilities of this Territory for stock raising yet what would they think Of one hsf of their cattle beng sscri- hced by the storms! The fact of the matter Is that Arizona is the best coun- try on the continent snd IS pot fully appreciated by the inhabitants.

Something ought to be done to guard against the consequences of the sudden collapse of the electric light at the British mgscum reading room. An accident of srs kind was threatened two OF three 'sSeeks ago. ani last week it came ou in earnest. The room was plunged in dark ness for some minutes, and in the cOntus ion which followed there would have been no difficulty in any of the two or three hundred readers present elOping with what books or other portable property they could lay their hands on. This is not an imaginary danger. It is well known that some Of the readers at the British museum go there in pursuit of other things besides knowledge. An at tendant there once told me that many of them would steal anything that could be carried away.
